A Visit from the Magical Snow Fairy
This comm has been quiet for TOO LONG.
The ship is now full of snow. Seriously. It's in the hallways. It's in your bedroom. It's all over the mess hall, the sensoriums, and of course the city. How did it get here? WHO KNOWS! It's just everywhere snow should be and then a whole lot more.
NOW DEAL WITH IT!
(Meme is, as usual, open to literally anybody. Ever.)

Sure, what John had to do was hard, of course. But Jorge had sacrificed himself for Reach. He sacrificed himself in the knowledge that destroying the Supercarrier would be what saved his planet.
To know, now, that it wasn't the case... And to know that one of the very people who, to Jorge, an hour ago was trying to kill him...
Forgive him if he's not completely accepting.
"The Covenant is, and always will be, my enemy." Jorge spits out. "I'll put up with them. Not because you expect me to, or because you order me to. Because we both know that the order would mean nothing, even if we were both back in UNSC Space."
He pauses. "I'll do it for you, and for the hope that we'll get our universe back."
